I don't think about being a public persona too much - I just get on with what I'm doing.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Sometimes I feel people try to be too complex. Some of the greatest songs are so simple. The simplest phrases.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I make music because it helps me. I feel better after I've written a song. I listen to my own songs, and they make me feel and think about stuff I'd done or someone said to me, and I feel a bit better.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Music is an outlet, so I'm not going to get things out that aren't true. Sometimes I do exaggerate - but only a little bit.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
There's always so much energy from me and my band. Lots of fun and twists in each song.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Obviously I've grown up around YouTubers, people getting millions of hits, but I was never anywhere near that.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
There's always been music in my house growing up. In the kitchen, there's a speaker, and we'd always have my mum's iPod in it - she never makes food without listening to music. And I used to watch 'Top of the Pops' with my dad.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Before I put 'Blue Lights' out, I deleted my Instagram and everything and started again.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
A lot of stuff doesn't faze me. I think it's because I was brought up in a small town, and normally, when you're from a small town, when you see a famous person, you'd be like, 'Oh my god. This never happens,' but I've always kind of been like nonchalant.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
The people who are the most powerful and have the most money sometimes don't value other people.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
When I found 'New Chain' by Col3trane, honestly, I couldn't stop playing it. It's a good road trip song because the beat just drives on.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I'd like young girls to be able to listen to my music and take something positive away from it.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
For me, it's about touching as many people as I can and helping as many people as I can with my music.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I've been singing most of my life. There's nothing better I could wish to be doing.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
When we used to walk to school, I used to read off the walls, graffiti and stuff, everything. I used to write stories, but I'd never finish them. I wrote poems.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I want to be someone for young girls to look up to, for fathers to want their daughters to listen to me because I'm not rude, and I'm actually talking some sense.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I believe a voice is a voice. I could wear a box on my head and still have a good voice.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I overthink everything, and one thing I find difficult is to actually be in the moment.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Independence is doing what you want to do, knowing that you're happy with the decisions you're making and that it's the best for you.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
One Christmas, I wrote a nativity play. But nobody turned up on the day of the performance apart from my brother and my cousins, so I just read the whole script onstage and made my brother pretend to be one of the animals at the inn.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I've listened to 'Frank' so many times. She was so honest and herself. I think one of the hardest things for an artist to do is tell the truth, but that's what Amy Winehouse did, and it's what I want to do - if you want to write songs that connect with people, I think they really need to believe what you're talking about.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
My dad will always criticize me. He doesn't care if it hurts my feelings. If I start acting a certain way, he would be like, 'Who do you think you are?' So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' but I don't think it. I'm really hard on myself.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I get so many people coming up to me being like, Aahhh! And I'm like, what the hell? I'm just me!
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Sometimes I observe stuff I haven't been through and write about it. I used to walk my dog with these 50-year-olds, and they'd tell me stories I could use.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I was born in June, so I like summer, and my favourite part of a sunny day is when the sun sets.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I'm not with a label, so I haven't ever felt pressure to be a certain way. I've got a cool team who just love music.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I just like wearing whatever makes me feel comfortable and confident. I wear what fits my mood.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
My voice makes the genre because I sound like me on all my songs - I've made my own genre: Jorja Smith.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Drake brought me out at the O2 in London and Barclays Center, and I'm on 'More Life.'
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Because I'm on a tour bus, it's so hard to wash your face - we have to use, um, water bottles. But you know what? It's not about looking cute - it's about staying hydrated.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I left Starbucks in 2015. When I was younger, I remember looking at Justin Bieber and wishing I had all these fans, but you know what? Everyone has their path, everyone's path is different, and this is where mine's going. I just didn't want to work at Starbucks. I wanted to be writing music all the time.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I met Sade! I performed 'Blue Lights' at one of Drake's shows in London, and I met her backstage. She told me her son is a big fan. That was a moment when I was like, 'Wow.'
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I want to be worldwide, international, in everyone's ears, and everyone listening to what I'm saying, because I think I say some good stuff.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Michael Jackson was a Gemini. Kanye, Lauryn Hill, a lot of people that are amazing artists are Geminis.
